Geriatric & Senior Pet Care
Watching our pets age can be an emotional journey, but at River's Edge Animal Hospital, we’re here to support you every step of the way. As pets grow older, they may experience changes in behavior, routine, or health, which can signal a variety of concerns such as shifts in nutritional needs, pain, mobility challenges, cognitive decline, or metabolic issues like diabetes, kidney, or liver problems.
We take a whole-body approach to senior pet care, tailoring each treatment plan to your pet's unique needs. Our veterinarians are skilled in evaluating and managing the changes that come with aging, and we incorporate a combination of medications, therapies, supplements, and exercises to promote comfort and mobility. In addition, we ensure that your pet’s vaccination and preventative care programs evolve as they age to maintain their health and well-being.
With our compassionate, comprehensive care, we’re committed to helping your pet stay as comfortable and happy as possible during their golden years.
